The trip was part of Berry's month-long planned "aerial tour of Texas."
Fort Bend County welcomed recently appointed Secretary of State Nandita Berry during her second week of a planned "aerial tour of Texas."
"This is a distinct honor for us," said Jeff Wiley, president and CEO of the Fort Bend Economic Development Council. "We started as a community that was built on good education, good housing and mostly a commuter [population] and built that into a powerhouse economic situation."
Berry joined Wiley along with Sugar Land Mayor James Thompson and Sugar Land's Director of Economic Development Regina Morales on a helicopter tour of Fort Bend County, visiting areas of Sugar Land, Missouri City, Stafford, Richmond and Rosenberg.
Berry said she was impressed with not only the economic development she saw, but the amount of residential development around the county.
